Everywhere I looked there were women wearing fantastic leather boots, knit sweaters, and barely anything in between.
I was certainly aware of yoga pants as a "thing," but aside from the gym or early morning commutes along jogging routes I typically didn't see them in action.
On this trip, however, I was witness to in opaque, cottony yoga pants, opaque tights, and one young lady near the Seattle University had a long sweater on over sheer pantyhose.
When I flew back east, I wondered why the women I was seeing here weren't in step with the Seattle fashions. Was this something unique to the Pacific Northwest? I certainly hoped not.
Little by little, I started seeing more women adopting this look, although generally without the boots I'd seen in Seattle, and tending toward more opaque fabrics.
Lululemon seems to be one of the first companies to market yoga pants. In fact, they sued Calvin Klein for infringing on their patents.
For men everywhere, from the bottom of all of our hearts, I say, "Thank you."
What's that? You heard of our gratitude that quickly and you'd like to reward us further? Howso?
Keep an eye out gents - As of May 2013 Lululemon recalled thousands of yoga pants which turned out to be unintentionally non-opaque. You never know - the lady next to you could be wearing a pair right now.
